I Know Diezani Would be Arrested in London – Oshiomhole

The Edo State Governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, on Tuesday said he was not surprised by the current travails of a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, in the United Kingdom given that the nation’s economy had been badly managed over the years.

He said, “For me, I don’t think anybody should be surprised (about Alison-Madueke’s trial in the UK) because even the most favourable commentator on the Nigerian condition, the economy, the polity and the society, agrees that our economy was badly mismanaged over the years. I have not seen one commentator that disagrees.

Buhari is SICK!!!

Information just reaching yours sincerely is that the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC); Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is critically ill and is currently in a private hospital in the United Kingdom receiving treatment.

The Governor of Ekiti State Ayo Fayoshe also came out to corroborate this story. And if this news is true which appears to be true. Then it would be safe to assume that the man that wants to become Nigeria's president may not enjoy good health while at it.

APC announced earlier on that Buhari is on his way to UK on a working visit and he is due to speak at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London.
